Critic Reviews

  • Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today

    A little lifeless.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    A romantic comedy with insights into sex and relationships that are old and obvious.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    Has real spirit to it.

  • Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

    Refreshingly funny.

  • John Anderson, Newsday

    All over the place, and seems to have been made by embittered married people.

    This movie strikes a chord in the heart of every woman, but not romantically. I remember my first annoying playboy co-worker and he was a great deal like Eddie. I watched this movie with a wry smile on my face, thinking about how wonderful it would be to have him back in the office… More

    I only caught the last ¾ of this movie, so this may not be fair review. It was a fun one to watch, and the acting was great. The story left something to be desired towards the end, but was redeemed slightly by watching the alternate ending, which answered a lot of questions we had… More
